Vikram is ambitious and takes care of the family real-estate business. Vikram isn't so generous and understanding too when it comes to girls, and the stark difference in opinion results in Vikram and Mahalakshmi quarrelling quite often. But under some unique circumstances, they join hands to help their siblings get married.
